Left Behind: Urban High Schools and the Failure of Market Reform

Examines urban high school reform in the United States, focusing on the impact of market-based and standards-driven policies. It scrutinizes how these reforms, particularly those related to math and literacy education, affect low-income students and educational inequality. The authors utilize case studies of various public charter and district high schools in New York City and other locations to illustrate adaptive changes, challenges, and competitive dynamics. Furthermore, the text explores the role of "college knowledge" and social support in navigating post-secondary pathways, critically analyzing how research and policy alliances have shaped the educational landscape.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Left-Behind-Schools-Failure-Market/dp/1421417871?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=632fdf36f9ffbd5582812d92402e1a8f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
